I bought this almost a year ago and I do not regret it. This is such a great piece of equipment. After several circuits for work and personal I now prefer to use surface mount on all of my projects.
Get some good paste! I prefer water soluble flux in my paste, then I clean the board in the sonic-cleaner at work. Though IPA can do the trick quickly with most water solubles.
